In November last year, Roku laid off a total of 200 company workers citing difficult economic conditions, but it appears that layoff was not enough, and just as it was with Amazon, where one mass layoff was enough, Roku will get rid of another 200 workers.
This will come accompanied by the closure of some officessomething that, in total, together with the dismissals, is expected to end with a cost of about 30 or 35 million dollars once the settlements are paid and the relevant buildings are emptied, something that is counterintuitive, but if Roku is doing it, it must make sense.
These dismissals have a main objective, and it is none other than to keep the company’s expenses limited, something that in recent times has been essential in the face of a drop in income derived from the end of the pandemicduring which he was outsourced to dozens of companies.
It certainly doesn’t look like this is the last layoff we’ll see, and it may not even be the last company to repeat layoffs, given that both Amazon and Roku They are already in this position due to poor economic planning on their part.
